Tahini chicken is quick, tasty, and out of the ordinary. The key ingredient, tahini, is a sesame paste available in Asian stores, but recently has been seen in major grocery chains. It tastes like a mix of Asian and Mediterranean, close to a peanut sauce satay but made from sesame. Serve over couscous or noodles.

Ingredients

0.75 cups water
1 cube chicken bouillon
0.25 cups tahini , sesame paste
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 clove garlic , minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons butter , or as needed
2 skinless , boneless chicken breast halves, cut into cubes, or more to taste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour , or as needed
1 teaspoon sesame seeds , or as desired

Instructions

1

Bring water and bouillon cube to a boil in a pot until bouillon is dissolved; decrease heat to low. Whisk tahini, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger into bouillon mixture until smooth. Keep sauce warm over low heat.
2

Heat butter in a separate skillet over medium heat; cook and stir chicken until no longer pink in the center, 5 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
3

Whisk flour into tahini sauce until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add cooked chicken to tahini sauce and toss to coat.
